WHEAT-lt was generally hoped that by this
time there would be some activity in the ship
ping line. Expectation in this direction has
been disappointed. Not only is there nothing
doing on export account, but the outlook for
any movement of that character, in the i'm
mediate future, does not appear to be promis-
ing Still the situation abroad is better than it
was, and if foreign markets would only shape a
trifie more in favor of growers, operators might
become inclined to take hold. In the absence
of representative trade, we quote No. l shipping
Wheat nominal at 81 25G91 2715 p ctl, with sales
of choice product to millers at 81 S099l 40 p ct.
BARLEY-The market is favorable to buyers.
Receipts have continued liberal for some time,
while the demand has shown no corresponding
increase, so that there is considerable stock on
hand. Sellers have been holding above the
views of buyers, thus restricting operations
Evidences of willingness to shade on former
asking rates are now noticeable, and it is pos
sible that the volume of transactions will soon
be of greater proportions For feed of the better
quality, Soc is the top of the market. and from
this down to sec will perhaps embrace the full
range for feed offerings. Brewing continues
slow OF movement at 81 10 as an extreme for old
and 95c@s1 for new. Dealers are hopeful that
in q short time there will be marked increase
in the inquiry for Brewing qualities. So far as
Cheyalier is concerned, it is next to useless to
attempt to find custom. Sellers look more to
foreign than TO home sources for market for
this description, but so far they have been dis
appointed. No guiding quotations can be given,
and we therefore quote nominal at 9212c@sl for

rivals is far from choice. There is an abundant
supply of Apples. Most offerings are nics-look-

about their own way. No really good Peaches

Ounces can be had at about anything that buy

pretty round prices. Offerings of Grapes are
less liberal, but this does not cause any improve
